Why does Exploding Take Longer at Times with AutoCAD 2005?*Applies to: AutoCAD 2005*AutoCAD 2005 contains many improvements with
Draw Order and many will say this is a great thing. However,
there is a downside to these new Draw Order improvements when using
the EXPLODE command on a large number of objects. What happens
is the EXPLODE command places the new objects that are created at the
same Draw Order level as the original. This can result in a
change from seconds for the Explode operation in a previous
release of AutoCAD, to some thing that might take a couple minutes in
AutoCAD 2005.
This lengthy operation may appear to have locked up AutoCAD, but that
typically is not the case. It is exploding the object and then changing the Draw Order
for the new objects unlike before. To resolve this delay and if Draw Order is
not important to you, just change the DRAWORDERCTL system variable to
0. The default value is set to 3 which in most cases is the best
option to use as it keeps the Draw Order when
editing or modifying objects.
| 0 - |
Default display of objects with Draw Order is
disabled or off. All new objects created or added to the drawing
will appear on top and don't inherit Draw Order values
from objects that they are created from.

Default display of objects with Draw Order is
enabled or on. Objects that are edited reflect the correct Draw Order.
|
